Aqua Bike

An aquatic bicycle is pool fitness equipment used in pools that are 1 to 1.50 meters deep. The bikes allow you to pedal against water resistance which is determined by four paddle wheels that are adjustable on three levels. The aqua bikes rest on the floor of the pool and use waist high for resistance.

Water Barbells

Swimming barbells, also called water weights, are used to work both your arms and your whole upper body equally.

Types of Water Barbell Exercises

Barbell arm-press exercise

This exercise requires you to position your barbells out at your side, so your body is in a T-position while at the deep end of the pool. Using your arms to control the barbells, bring the barbells down to your side touching the side of your legs and back up to the water surface, so your body is in a T-position once again.

Barbell crunch exercise

This exercise targets the abdominal muscles. Hold your arms at your sides in a vertical position at the deep end of the pool and bring your legs toward your chest as far as you can. You can also do this exercise while floating on your back then slowly bring your legs to your chest and straighten them again.

Barbell scissor kick exercise

The scissor kick exercise is aimed at building your thigh muscles, butt, and abdominal muscles. Use your barbells to hold yourself in a vertical position at the deep end of the pool with your arms stretched out in front of you.
